Artwork Together on the Move

Highlight • Monument

Desmarets' sculpture depicts an everyday scene: a man walking with his dog. The dynamics of the image are typical of the artist, who manages to capture the mobility of man in a static metal such as bronze.

April 28, 2022,Wandeling De Panne - Door duin en bos - natuurwandeling
Short, but nevertheless very nice walk through a beautiful, beautiful nature reserve (especially the eastern part of De Panne) of our municipality. Nature at its best. The route connects the various dunes and forests. However, it is always possible to map out the route according to your own creativity, so that the route can be made a lot longer or …

A very classic loop that takes you through almost all of De Panne's nature reserves! The loop is easily shortened and/or extended (especially towards Bray-Dunes!).

Showing Translation

If you complete the loop, you'll have a total of just under 18 km. The visitor center at the tennis court near the Osthoekduinen is a wonderful place to take a break with cold drinks and, if necessary, a meal.

Showing Translation

Classic circuit that can easily be expanded to a longer route! For those who are new to the region, this is a good discovery tour !!

Relaxing, very short, recovery lap after a minor injury
